“The gnolls retreated？”
On the third day of the Shadow Valley evacuation operation, while Murphy was happily assigning daily battlefield patrol tasks to his little players at the Baphomet Canyon position, a high-altitude search from Reifno brought him a unexpected news.
From the high-altitude view of the Blood-Eating Spirit Vulture, which became more and more powerful after being nourished by its strength, Murphy could clearly see that the Jackals on the periphery of the Baphomet Canyon position were making a large-scale and orderly retreat. Their retreat was not Chaos, rushing in the direction of Shadow Valley along the way they came in standard clan style..
One queue after another of Jackals is covering the retreat. At this rate, it will take up to half a day for the number of Jackals left outside the position to be reduced to a point where it is not enough to continue the attack..
For the Nord position, which has just accepted the retreating troops from the Shadow Valley, this is a good thing. It means that the soldiers on the position will get enough rest time, but for the commanders, this new trend It seems extremely weird.
Murphy did not publicize this matter, but sent a messenger from the Blood Vulture Clan to convey the news to other commanders. He himself quickly found his "Three Commanding Generals" to discuss the situation..
Unfortunately, Wu Duilun and his staff officers carried out a "death charge" yesterday that was very suitable for the player's status. As a result, they are still in the three-day Internet abstinence period and cannot go online. Therefore, the only people who came are Lao Qin and Qing Dynasty. veteran.
“Maybe Xu Gesen wants to carry out a strategic contraction？”
The Qing Dynasty veterans who were summoned guessed that：
“They had just occupied the valley, but before we evacuated we destroyed most of the facilities and blew up the main entrance to the tunnel. If the jackals want to reopen the tunnel, they must first become familiar with the terrain. Their base camp was also burned and was attacked everywhere. This led to chaos in the rear area. If Xu Gesen wanted to break through the Baphomet Canyon and the Filthy Swamp in one go, he would have to carry out a necessary reorganization of the current army..
What's more, there is also the problem of food channels..
General Maxim led our elites and our warriors to retreat to Fort Courage, where they still took the initiative to harass the Black Flame Pass communication line..
I think maybe the jackal warlord wanted to seize the opportunity to retake the grain road, or maybe he wanted to solve the trouble in Fort Courage in one go..
If it were me, I would definitely do this！
They have just won a victory. Instead of advancing rashly, they should seize the time we have to push out of the barren mountain area to stabilize the rear..
Just like boxing, you have to pull your fingers back to make a fist.”
“Makes sense.”
Murphy nodded and looked at Lao Qin, who was frowning next to him. The latter noticed Murphy's gaze but did not speak immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before speaking.：
“Xu Gesen dispatched this vanguard when he entered the barren mountain area, and then did not call them back even in the worst case scenario, which shows that the great warlord's original intention was to fight on two fronts..
Now that it has secured the strategic location of Shadow Valley, and has won victory on one front of the two-front battle, how could it suddenly withdraw its punch at this time?？
When you were fighting in Shadow Valley, I supported the Nord defense in this position. I must tell you, Lord, although the commander of the Winter Wolf Legion showed full confidence, in fact I He knows the details of his army very well..
In the confrontation with the Hass Warlord of the Bloodscar Clan, they suffered more than half of their casualties, which has exceeded the upper limit of casualties for most armies in the cold weapon era. Although the Winter Wolf Legion's strict discipline can ensure that the combat order will not collapse due to losses, This cannot change the personal mood of the soldiers.
I have witnessed broken soldiers rushing out of the trenches in a frenzy and being killed by gnolls. I have also seen low-level officers with weak will sneak away at night..
Colonel Duke even laid out the gallows to punish deserters, which actually proved that their situation had become extremely tense..”
Lao Qin paused, glanced at Murphy who was listening carefully, and said：
“Even if I can see the problem, there is no way that Warlord Hass on the opposite side can't see it..
I must remind you, Lord, this Warlord Hass is very difficult to deal with! He is a general who has experienced hundreds of battles and is very capable of commanding. He is not obsessed with occupying positions but prefers to kill our effective forces..
This makes every attack he personally directs extremely bloody..
It was attacking the psyche and morale of the Yankees in this way, and it proved that it did.
A commander like that must know very well that now that the Yankees are hanging on with only one breath left, the best way to fight at this time is to continue the pressure tactics, rather than retreat and leave the enemy with precious breathing space..
And based on our previous understanding of Xu Gesen, the God-chosen Grand Overseer is also very talented in the art of war. I believe that this retreat order was not issued by him..
perhaps
There's something wrong with the Jackal's internal command system.？”
“Do you think this is possible?？”
Murphy asked, Lao Qin narrowed his eyes and nodded.：
“I think it's very likely！
According to what those of us warriors who have chosen the Gnoll civilization revealed in our tavern, there are also conflicts between various classes within Gnoll society..
For example, the Bloodscar clan has always respected the priest class, while the Bonegnashers respect warriors with outstanding merits. Haas is the warlord of the Bloodscar clan. It is not at the top of the power structure, so it is possible that some people like to point fingers. The priest interfered with the command.
But I have no proof of this.
And the biggest question is, if the Hass Warlord is forced to carry out retreat tactics, what does this mean that the Jackals plan to do? Are they going to launch another astral tear, destroying our position here just like they tried to destroy the Valley of Shadows?？”
“They probably won't do that.”
The Qing Dynasty veteran shook his head and said：
“Last time, the astral rift in the Shadow Valley caused a wolf disaster. It turns out that the astral wolves not only hate us, but are also rude to the jackals. If there is another larger-scale wolf disaster, the jackals will too. suffered a terrible loss.”
“But we have to take precautions！”
Lao Qin said in a deep voice：
“Nothing like this can happen again! We were able to escape danger in Shadow Valley because luck was on our side. Brother Mewmew's patrol happened to discover the Gnoll's conspiracy that day..
But we can't rely on luck in everything, Lord. I heard that the Goatman Astromancer is very knowledgeable about astral tearing. Maybe we should also entrust him to design a spell to defend against astral tearing..
The gnolls are obviously learning our tactics. These barbarians really know how to conduct war. This is an eternal game of spear and shield. We must be one step ahead..”
“That makes sense, then let’s invite Master Boer to visit the position..”
Murphy adopted Lao Qin's suggestion, he said：
“Invite it to strengthen the plane boundary around the position, and I will ask Tris and Villanther to help too..”
The two staff officers nodded immediately..
After they left, Murphy also contacted his old baby Tris. Before he could speak, he heard Tris say：
“That cement-sealed heart is not online today. She would never be late in the past..”
“so what？”
Murphy's eyes jumped and he asked：
“伱means？”
“Her 'time' has come, maybe in the next two or three days..”
Trish said：
“Her situation is very special. This time it is a permanent transfer of consciousness to Transia. I think this process may be noticed by the subspace shadow. After all, this consciousness is accompanied by the coordinates and atmosphere of another world..
